FreeCAD does a better job of it than OpenSCAD does, yes. ;) Agreed on all points; the reason why the rules you describe are the way they are make sense to me, and I could use FreeCAD if I had to. But I pay for Fusion because it's worth it to me.

Yeah. I've always been of the opinion that, having got myself from OpenSCAD to GUI CAD, I will jump from FreeCAD to onShape/Fusion360 if I feel I have to -- or do my CAD work on a Windows machine with Alibre.

I feel fairly at home on FreeCAD and some of the recent improvements and developments just make it even better. Plus there's a lot of actually good tutorial material on Youtube now. So for now I am happy not to jump.

(I do tend to make this decision individually for each software application, though; I'm unwilling to limit myself to GIMP when there are other alternatives to Photoshop. But I might well be willing to stick to Inkscape.)
